Anna Sui Spring 2010 NYFW Presentation

I have a soft spot for Anna Sui – one of my very first ever designer items was a sweater by her.

Due to her new line for Target, she’s been getting more buzz than ever this season, and I was super excited to see her show. It did not disappoint! Always known as a bit of a hippie in the designer world, her looks had a lot of a retro feel. She showed looks that paired dresses paired with vests, military jackets with boho tunics, and shorter dresses with fitted knee-length shorts.

It was ’80s, but with a modern edge. I also love that a lot of the models walked the runway in flats – it paired well with the designs, and – I’m sure – led to way happier models!
